The Steelers are one of the most winningest franchises in the NFL, so here is every one of their Super Bowl appearances ranked!
8. Super Bowl XXX Steelers 17 Cowboys 27
The Steelers lost this Super Bowl in horrible fashion as quarterback Neil O’Donnell came out and threw three costly interceptions. These interceptions, mixed with a slow start from both sides of the ball for the Steelers, created a nearly impossible hole to climb out of. It was by far the worst appearance in Pittsburgh Steelers history.
7. Super Bowl XLV Packers 31 Steelers 25
This game was a tale of two halves for the Steelers; Aaron Rodgers came out firing and passed for three touchdowns in this game, and the Packers took a commanding 21-3 lead. The Steelers made their best effort to come back and make it close, but the door was eventually shut by Rashard Mendenhall fumbling and Big Ben not being able to finish the job.
6. Super Bowl XIV Rams 19 Steelers 31
Super Bowl 14 was the Steelers 4th Super Bowl and the last of the 70s dynasty, this was a sloppy game that the Steelers’ experience and defense helped them to win. The difference of 14.7 yards per pass versus 6.5 yards per pass was the main factor in this game, the Steelers were able to move the ball much easier than the Rams.
5. Super Bowl XL Seahawks 10 Steelers 21
This was a fun watch, especially with the trickery and big play value the Steelers brought to this game. However, the refereeing made this Super Bowl feel a bit different than many others. Ben Roethlisberger did not have his best game, nor did Matt Hasselbeck; however, this game was still a great one for Steelers fans as they came out with a win.
4. Super Bowl IX Vikings 6 Steelers 16
The Steelers’ first Super Bowl was certainly a special one as they overwhelmed the Vikings offense with 4 future Hall of Famers in Mean Joe Greene, Jack Lambert, Jack Ham, and Mel Blount. They forced Fran Tarkenton to throw three interceptions, while the only points they allowed in the whole game was a punt return touchdown. This was a special win in Steelers history as it kicked off one of the greatest dynasties of all time.
3. Super Bowl X Cowboys 17 Steelers 21
This game consisted of highlight reel plays by both the Steelers offense and defense. Lynn Swann had one of the best games of his life with his “Circus Catch” and a 64-yard game-sealing touchdown; this game was one of the ages and certainly one of the most anticipated Super Bowls of all time.
2.Super Bowl XIII Steelers 35 Cowboys 31
This was a masterful game from two great offenses, Roger Staubach and Terry Bradshaw, exchanging blows that Bradshaw eventually pulled out. Bradshaw’s 4 passing touchdowns helped propel the Steelers to victory over the Cowboys in one of the most thrilling Super Bowls ever.
1.Super Bowl XLIII Steelers 27 Cardinals 23
Super Bowl XLIII has a case for being the greatest Super Bowl of all time, with some of the greatest players ever. You have James Harrison’s 100-yard pick 6 and Santonio Holmes’s catch in the back of the endzone with 20 seconds left. This game was a clash of two heavyweights and all-time great players like Kurt Warner, Larry Fitzgerald, Big Ben, and Troy Polomalu.
